I also think its boring, and lacks Flow. Its one of the only places in the country which I really don’t like.
For a trail centre, which has a trail and no centre ? It’s lacking,
The terrain is pretty rugged, this is what makes it stuttery as its kind of man made but not sculptured and it’s not natural either. None of the descends are long enough to permit any flow and just when you think you are getting on a bit it stops.
I don’t think its difficult* it’s certainly not as hard as Dalby but then that’s not sparkling either.
From York Gisburn is a bastard place to get to. But then that’s why you have done Dalby to death.
instead of driving to Gisburn I’d do Wharncliffe or the Peaks.
Admittedly Wharny isn’t that long or flowy but at least it will make your Granny’s T towel holder pucker up and the peaks, if that doesent do it for you nothing will, that descent off the back of Winn Hill to the Steps and down, better than any descent in any trail centre,
